SUMMARY:The Devil's Wheels: Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic
DESCRIPTION:“The Devil’s Wheels Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic” by Sasha Disko \nDuring the high days of modernization fever\, among the many disorienting changes Germans experienced in the Weimar Republic was an unprecedented mingling of consumption and identity: increasingly\, what one bought signaled who one was. Exemplary of this volatile dynamic was the era’s burgeoning motorcycle culture. With automobiles largely a luxury of the upper classes\, motorcycles complexly symbolized masculinity and freedom\, embodying a widespread desire to embrace progress as well as profound anxieties over the course of social transformation. Through its richly textured account of the motorcycle as both icon and commodity\, The Devil’s Wheels teases out the intricacies of gender and class in the Weimar years. \n\nSasha Disko is a historian and independent scholar. She is an alumnus of UCSC (BA in History and German Studies\, 1997) and received her PhD in History from New York University. She has been living and working in Germany since 2008. Her research interests include the history of motorization\, industrialization\, business administration\, and leisure. She currently lives in Hamburg\, Germany.

SUMMARY:Launch and Presentation of the Critical Sustainabilities Website
DESCRIPTION:From activism to ecology\, alternative culture to industry\, “sustainability\,” it seems\, is everywhere. In the face of economic and environmental crisis\, and unprecedented rates of urbanization\, the term has become ubiquitous in policy circles and across many social domains. Yet this ubiquity presents us with competing and often contradictory meanings and applications\, and can lead to conflicts over fundamental questions such as “sustainability of what and for whom?” This in turn poses challenges for sustainability scholarship\, planning\, policy\, and practice. \nCritical Sustainabilities is a new website that aims to address these issues. It focus on iconic sustainability efforts in Northern California — many of which have popularized the concept nationally and globally — while exploring the multiple\, often contested ways these efforts have made use of the term. It offers tools in the forms of “keywords” and “sites” to help grasp the histories and locations through which ideas about sustainability have been produced and become powerful. And it presents “projects” that explore these ideas through a creative and critical lens. \nPlease join us as we launch Critical Sustainabilities\, and share a few contributions from the site: \n* Miriam Greenberg (UCSC): “Sustainabilities”\n* Simon Sadler (UC Davis): “Keyword: Ecological Design” and “Site: Bateson Building”\n* Elsa Ramos (UCSC) “Keyword: Transit Oriented Development” and “Site: 16th and Mission BART Plaza”\n* Tracy Perkins (UCSC): “Site: Gonzales” and “Project: Voices from the Valley”\n* Kristin Miller (UCSC): “Keyword: Google Bus” and “Projects: Postcards from the Future”\n* Rachel Brahinsky (University of San Francisco): “Teaching Critical Sustainabilities”

SUMMARY:Giovanna Di Chiro: “Embodied Ecologies: Connecting Sustainability and Environmental Justice”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Giovanna Di Chiro’s research bridges academic and community action domains and integrates the fields of environment\, sustainability\, and social justice. She teaches interdisciplinary courses in environmental studies and women’s & gender studies\, and incorporates a community-based\, action research emphasis (currently as the Lang Professor for Issues of Social Change at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania). Di Chiro has published widely on the intersections of race\, class\, gender\, and environmental justice with a focus on activism and policy change addressing environmental health disparities in lower income communities. She collaborates with environmental justice and community development organizations to conduct participatory action research on environmental health concerns and on developing culturally relevant “sustainability” initiatives in diverse communities. \nDi Chiro is co-editor of the volume Appropriating Technology: Vernacular Science and Social Power and is completing a book titled Embodied Ecologies: Science\, Politics\, and Environmental Justice. Embodied Ecologies focuses on what she calls “embodied” or “situated” environmental science and community-based environmental justice activism. The central argument interrogates conventional environmental science and policy approaches\, which tend to concentrate on global\, cosmopolitan\, and macro-level frameworks of organized power: states\, markets\, global institutions\, global environmental sciences\, and international environmental organizations. That selective attention to the macro scale tends to dismiss or simply disregard community/local/situated practices and approaches to environmental science and policy as overly micro level and parochial (i.e.\, not relevant or up to the task of addressing the big environmental problems of the moment\, like global climate change). Using the conceptual framework of “embodiment” and drawing on the feminist political economic theory of social reproduction (the maintenance and sustainability of bodies/families/communities and everyday life)\, Embodied Ecologies examines the harm done to (human and non-human) bodies\, communities\, and local environments\, which has been eclipsed by dominant discourses emphasizing the global scale. The book highlights the innovative and diverse eco-cosmo-politics generated by grassroots activists to build sustainable\, just\, and resilient communities in the face of broad-scale environmental problems like global warming and climate change. \nDi Chiro has a background in Biology (B.A. with honors from UCSC)\, a Master of Science in Environmental Studies from the University of Michigan\, and a Ph.D. in History of Consciousness (Interdisciplinary Studies focusing on Environment\, Health\, and Development) from UC Santa Cruz\, which integrates her interdisciplinary background in biology\, environmental studies\, and socio-cultural theory. Di Chiro has over 20 years teaching experience\, and has taught in Environmental Studies and Women’s & Gender Studies at Deakin University (Australia)\, University of California (Santa Cruz)\, Allegheny College\, Mount Holyoke College\, and Swarthmore College. She has received numerous research fellowships and grants\, including from the Rockefeller Foundation\, the University of California Humanities Research Institute\, the American Association of University Women\, the Nathan Cummings Foundation\, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. \nThis colloquium was established to honor the memory and research of Jessica Roy\, a UC Santa Cruz graduate student in sociology whose life was abruptly cut short while doing her dissertation fieldwork in Kenya. Her research in rural Africa was designed to illuminate the problem of access to safe water resources and the influence of gender relations on this access. Her approach was interdisciplinary\, including environmental\, feminist\, and sociological perspectives.  \nCosponsored by the Urban Studies Research Cluster.

SUMMARY:Tanya Maria Golash-Boza: "Mass Deportation and the Neoliberal Cycle"
DESCRIPTION:The United States is deporting more people than ever before – nearly 400\,000 each year since 2006. Many deportees have close ties to the United States: in 2011\, 100\,000 deportees had U.S. citizen children. The vast majority of deportees are men of color. How do we explain this devastating policy shift? I argue that neoliberalism and\, by extension\, global capitalism\, make the mass deportation of men of color possible in the current context. Mass deportation is a U.S. policy response designed to relocate surplus labor to the periphery and to keep labor in the United States compliant. The U.S. public accepts this policy response because it targets men of color – people perceived to be expendable in the current economy. \nTanya Golash-Boza is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Merced. She is the author of three books: 1) Due Process Denied (2012)\, which describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes\, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment; 2) Immigration Nation (2012)\, which provides a critical analysis of the impact that U.S. immigration policy has on human rights; and 3) Yo Soy Negro: Blackness in Peru (2011)\, the first book in English to address what it means to be black in Peru. She has also published many articles in peer-reviewed journals on deportations\, racial identity\, human rights\, U.S. Latinos/as and Latin America\, in addition to essays and chapters in edited volumes and online venues. Her innovative scholarship was awarded the Distinguished Early Career Award from the Racial and Ethnic Minorities Studies Section of the American Sociological Association in 2010. \nEvent presented by the UCSC Sociology Colloquium Series and the Center for Labor Studies.
